Liverpool and Chelsea have just 10 days in which to complete a potential deal if either wants to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this summer.

Today, Chelsea are confident of beating Liverpool to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang....

This may give Chelsea the favorites tag in the race to sign the player, whom they may be especially keen on, considering that they lost out to Manchester United in the race to sign Romelu Lukaku.

The Bundesliga giants have already stepped up their efforts to bring in a replacement for the Gabon worldwide, who was the German top flight's top scorer last season with 31 league goals, and 40 in all competitions.

Tianjin Quanjian have been heavily linked with a move for the 28-year-old as well, but with the mid-season transfer window in China closing on 14th July there simply isn't the time for any deal to happen.

TalkSPORT reported late last week that Chelsea and Liverpool were going head-to-head to sign Aubameyang with both clubs understood to be keen to lure the Gabon worldwide to England.

It is claimed that there has been no contact between Dortmund and Chelsea this summer about Aubameyang, although the German club are said to have told the Gabon worldwide that his future must be resolved one way or the other by 24 July.
